Qiao He nodded and began looking for a place to change her clothes with a smile.

It's actually quite easy to do; it just involves using Asian sorcery—makeup!

He transformed himself from a petite and adorable young girl into a muscular... short man.

So when everyone and the kittens saw Qiao He's muscular physique and unshaven appearance, they all fell into an eerie silence.

It has to be said, it's strange.

Very strange.

It's like a fair-skinned, tender young boy who trains himself to become a short, dominant man.

It's so explosive.

Qiao He chuckled and asked Bo Shiwu, "How's that, you little burden? Am I alright now?"

With at least one more "male" in the team, the others probably wouldn't easily attack them.

Bo Shiwu's tone was somewhat bitter: "That works too."

Lin Qiaodu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ahe, whatever makes you happy."

Qiao He: "?" What do you mean, as long as she's happy?

Anyway, he looks like a man now, and you can't tell that she's a woman.

Then they went into the city to gather information.

When they first started walking down the street, there were indeed quite a few people secretly observing them from a distance. Those people thought that they hadn't been discovered by Qiao He and his group.

But Qiao He knew perfectly well what was going on.

They hadn't gone far when a dirty-looking girl suddenly ran up to them. She originally wanted to talk to Qiao He, but when she saw Qiao He's thick, sword-like eyebrows and fierce appearance, she was immediately frightened and didn't dare to say anything. Instead, she talked to Bo Shiwu, who seemed to be the leader of the group.

"Hey brothers, your faces look new. Are you new here?" the dirty-looking girl said with a smile.

"Don't you have a place to stay yet? Why don't you come stay at my place? It's very cheap, just one meal is enough for all of you to stay for a day!" The girl used to be a tout, but now that natural disasters have struck and the world is in chaos.

Qiao He really hadn't expected that the people in this city were so organized.

As soon as I entered, someone boldly came up to me and asked if I needed a hotel room.

"Our home is very safe, really, I'm not lying to you! Because we've already paid protection money to that big shot up there, no one dares to rush over and disturb your rest."

The girl said with a grin, "It's very cheap. I only need enough food to fill my stomach, just one meal! Then I can stay here."

Qiao He and Bo Shiwu exchanged a glance, and Bo Shiwu asked her, "Do you want to stay here?"

Qiao He thought for a moment, then said, "Stay."

"Lead the way, little sister," Qiao He said with a smile, her eyes seeming to be teasing her.

The girl was a little afraid of Qiao He, but not so much repulsed by her.

She enthusiastically led Qiao He and the others to a five-star hotel. There was indeed a special magnetic field here, but it wasn't the power of superpowered individuals.

Qiao He couldn't sense what it was either. Seeing that there weren't any menacing people on the street coming over, they went inside.

Bo Shiwu took out a piece of bread and a can of food from her backpack and handed them to the girl: "This is enough for one person, right?"

Qiao He said with a pained expression, "If we weren't new here and unfamiliar with the area, we wouldn't have used up our last bit of food to stay at the hotel. Sigh... we'll be hungry again tonight."

The girl's eyes lit up, and she kept saying, "Enough! Enough! Of course it's enough!"

They quickly took the supplies from Bo Shiwu's hands, fearing that Qiao He and Bo Shiwu might change their minds.

Girl: "My name is Annie, you can just call me Annie. Okay, your room is on the fifth floor. Here's the key. You can call me anytime, I'm always at the hotel."

After saying this, Annie happily took the supplies to the front desk.

Qiao He observed the situation in the hotel and found that there was no one else besides Annie.

Anne seems like an ordinary person, so why is she able to avoid being attacked?

Most importantly, Qiao He noticed that the texture of the skin on the back of Annie's neck was strange, as if it were made of fabric.

This sense of unease made Qiao He feel that this was not the safest place.

They must find the informant in this area quickly.

Qiao He thought for a moment, and just as Annie was about to eat her bread, she suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Miss Annie, do you know who has the best connections here?"

Annie paused for a moment, but quickly stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth and swallowed it with gusto, as if afraid that if she ate too late, the bread would grow legs and run away by itself.

"Speaking of this, it must be that magistrate in the city. He should know everything."

Annie blinked and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

Qiao He: "I'm looking for someone. I don't know if you've met them, Miss Annie."

After saying that, Qiao He placed Lin Xun's portrait and a piece of candy in front of her.

She deliberately concealed the candy, then lowered her voice and said, "This must be very precious. I have low blood sugar, so I brought a lot of candy. If you can help me, Miss Annie, I will give you the supplies you want."

Anne's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What had she just seen?!

That's candy!!!

This city is very valuable, with an incredibly powerful "currency"!
